Media Control

Background and Reason of the CSCF
H248 Media Control
 In versions earlier than 6.0C03, the CSCF controls the BGF to

implement media NAT and QoS functions through the SPDF.
Therefore, the SPDF must be deployed on the network, which
increases the networking complexity and deployment cost.
 In 6.0C03, the CSCF directly uses H248 to implement media control.
Thus, the SPDF is not required. This reduces the networking
complexity and also lowers the IMS deployment cost.

Application Scenarios of the CSCF H248 Media Control
 The CSCF directly uses H248 to complete the end-to-end NAT, NAPT, Hosted NAT, and
NAPT-PT media control. Thus, the media traversal between the public and private
networks is available and the corresponding bearer control is also implemented.
 The CSCF directly uses H248 to control the C-BGF/I-BGF for media transcoding.

 In this figure, the P-CSCF/IBCF uses H248 to directly control the C-BGF/I-BGF to
implement the media NAPT-PT, QoS control, and media traversal between the public and
private networks. The network positions of the IBCF and the I-CSCF are the same, and
their functions are also similar. The only difference is that the IBCF controls the NAT
traversal between core network domains.
 The P-CSCF/IBCF supports H.248 v2 and H.248 v3, and text and binary codec modes.
 The P-CSCF/IBCF supports both multi-stream and single-stream modes.

2.2 Latching/Call Hold/Audit/Notify
2.3 Transcoding

Media NAT: Basic Concepts
1. Inner domain and Outer domain

Inner domain: For the P-CSCF, the inner domain is the domain where the access resides. For the IBCF, the inner
domain is the home IMS domain, namely, the local domain.
Outer domain: For the P-CSCF, the outer domain is the domain where the core side resides. For the IBCF, the outer
domain is the domain where the external network resides.
2. Local BGF and Remote BGF
Local: BGF
Remote: Peer BGF
3. SDP direction
Inner to outer: from the access side to the core side for the P-CSCF; from the local domain to the outer domain for
the IBCF.
Outer to inner: from the core side to the access side for the P-CSCF; from the outer domain to the local domain for
the IBCF.
4. TA, TC, and Context
TA: Termination end of the P-CSCF access side (outer domain for the IBCF)
TC: Termination end of the P-CSCF core side (local domain for the IBCF)
Context: Correlation between TA and TC

R1:
1. Upon receiving an INVITE(SDP Offer1) message, the P-CSCF sends a ADD Termination request to the
BGF to apply for the IP address and port number of the TC.
2. Based on the SDP direction and domain application instruction, the BGF assigns a local TC IP address and
includes the IP address in the REPLY message sent to the P-CSCF.
3. The P-CSCF changes the SDP to the TC address returned by the BGF and sends out the INVITE (SDP
Offer2) message.
R2:
1: Upon receiving the INVITE 1xx/2xx (SDP Answer2) message, the P-CSCF sends the ADD Termination
request to the BGF to apply for the TA address. The ADD Termination request contains the REMOTE
address of the caller.
2. Based on the SDP direction and domain application instruction, the BGF assigns a local TA address and
records the correlation between the local TA address and the remote address of the caller.
R3:
1. Upon receiving the response (containing the applied TA address) to the ADD Termination request, the P-
CSCF sends a Modify Termination message to the BGF, to update the correlation between the local
address and remote address of the TC.
2. The BGF records the correlation between the local TC address contained in the INVITE request and the
called remote address contained in the INVITE 1xx/2xx message.
3. The P-CSCF records the correlation between the TA/TC and Local/Remote address, changes the SDP to
the TA address returned by the BGF, and then forwards the INVITE 1xx/2xx (SDP Answer1) message.

SDP Offer:
1. UE1 sends an INVITE request carrying the SDP to the P-CSCF. The SDP contains the UE1 address: A1 192.16.1.1:4000.
2. The originating P-CSCF obtains the information such as SDP direction (inner to outer) and outer domain name, and then sends a ADD Termination message to the SBC.
3. Based on the SDP direction (inner to outer), the SBC determines that the address of the media upstream interface (on the core network side) must be applied; based on the
outer domain name, the SBC assigns a upstream interface address in the mapping network segment, that is, A3, and includes A3 to the REPLY message sent to the
originating P-CSCF.
4. Based on A3 returned by the SBC, the originating P-CSCF changes the address in the SDP to A3 10.16.2.1:5000 (after NAT conversion) and sends the address to the
called UE2 through the S-I-S-P procedure.
5. UE2 receives the INVITE message. The SDP contained in the INVITE message indicates the peer media address A3 10.16.2.1:5000, that is, the caller IP address after the
NAT conversion.
SDP Answer:
1. UE2 sends a 183 message. In the 183 message, the UE2-P-S-I-S-P SDP contains the UE2 IP address A4 (original called address), that is, 10.16.1.1:3800.
2. The originating P-CSCF obtains the information such as SDP direction (outer to inner), Inner domain name, and UE1 IP A1. Then, the originating P-CSCF sends the ADD
Termination message to the SBC.
3. Based on the SDP direction (outer to inner), the SBC determines that the address of the media downstream interface (on the access network side) must be applied; based
on the inner domain name, the SBC assigns a downstream interface address in the mapping network segment, that is, A2, and includes A2 to the REPLY message sent to
the originating P-CSCF. The SBC then records the mapping (A1,A2) between A2 (local address) and A1 (remote address).
4. Upon receiving the ADD Reply message from the SBC, the originating P-CSCF returns the Modify Termination message carrying the UE2 IP A4 and A3 (obtained from the
SDP offer) to update the correlation between A3 and A4. Then, the SBC records the correlation between A3 and A4 (A3,A4). Thus, the address pair (A1,A2) (A3,A4) is
stored on the SBC for replacing communication addresses of media streams.
5. Based on the address of the media downstream interface A2 contained in the ADD Reply message from the SBC, the originating P-CSCF changes the address in the SDP
to the IP address after NAT conversion, that is, A2 192.16.2.1:3200, and then sends A2 to the calling UE1.
6. UE1 receives the 183 message. The SDP in the message indicates the peer media address A2 192.16.2.1:3200.

Chapter 2 Implementation Principles
2.1 Media NAT
2.2 Latching/Call Hold/Audit/Notify
2.3 Transcoding

Latching (1)
 Hosted NAT
An NAT device is added between the terminal and the C-BGF. Thus, the space on the access network side is divided into two
different ones. The NAT device is called hosted NAT.
 Latching
In a network with the hosted NAT, the IP address that the hosted NAT assigns for media streams cannot be known in
advance. Therefore, the C-BGF must wait until the terminal sends a package (the hosted NAT then will assign an IP address
in address domain 2), and then learns the initial package to obtain the IP address converted by the hosted NAT. This process
is called media latching.
 Relatching
During SDP re-negotiation, once the media connection information changes, the P-CSCF sends a Relatching instruction to the
C-BGCF, requesting the C-BGF to implement the latching again to obtain the IP address after NAT conversion.
Note: Only the P-CSCF supports the hosted NAT device. The IBCF does not support the hosted NAT device. The SE2300
supports the latching instruction but the UMG8900 does not support.

Call Hold (1)
 Problem
SBC media aging mechanism: If media streams of an session do not pass the SBC within a certain
period (media aging time limit), the SBC automatically deletes the session resources for protection.
During a call hold (callee on hold), if media streams do not pass the SBC and the call hold period
exceeds the media aging time limit, the media streams may become unavailable when the call resumes.
Solution
The SBC retains the media aging mechanism. Based on whether the call hold is implemented, the P-
CSCF delivers different media mapping operation instructions. That is, the P-CSCF includes the
parameter Call Hold Indication in the H248 message sent to the SBC. The parameter value START
(sent when the call hold begins) indicates that the call hold starts; the parameter value END (sent when
the call hold ends) indicates the call hold ends. During call hold, the SBC stops the media aging
detection for the call.
The call hold indication is used for the session level, that is, when a media stream of an session is held,
the SBC stops the aging detection for all media streams of the session.
Note: The SE2300 supports the call hold function and the UMG does not support the call hold function
(The UGM can hold a call for only five minutes).

Audit (1)
 The P-CSCF/IBCF sends a resource audit request to the C-BGF/I-BGF, to prevent the C-
BGF/I-BGF resources from being hanged up.
 If the C-BGF/I-BGF does not receive the AuditValue message from the P-CSCF/IBCF
within a certain period, the C-BGF/I-BGF releases the call.
 Upon receiving the AuditValue Reply message from the C-BGF/I-BGF, the P-CSCF/IBCF
stops the timer. If the operation result indicated by the AuditValue Reply message is
“Failed” or the P-CSCF/IBCF does not receive the AuditValue Reply message from the C-
BGF/I-BGF within a specific period, the P-CSCF/IBCF releases the call.

Notify(1): Event Report
 The bearer layer sends a NOTIFY message to the P-CSCF/IBCF when the bearer layer
detects that an session is extreme long or media streams are aged.
 The P-CSCF/IBCF receives the NOTIFY message. If all media streams are aged or the
session is extreme long, the P-CSCF/IBCF sends a BYE message to both the originating
and terminating sides; if only certain media streams are aged or the session is extreme
long, the P-CSCF/IBCF determines whether to release the session based on the
configurations of software parameters.

2.2 Latching/Call hold/Audit/Notify
2.3 Transcoding

Transcoding: Overview
 Integrated with fixed access and mobile access, the IMS network supports a number of access
technologies. The coding/decoding capabilities of terminals vary with access technologies. When the IMS
network interoperates with another network, the coding and decoding capabilities of the terminals on the
network may also be different. Terminals with different coding and decoding capabilities can interoperate
by using transcoding.
 Currently, the CSC3300 products only support transcoding by controlling the MRFP.
 Transcoding adopts the two-party call TC flow, which is similar to the NAPT-PT flow. The differences are
as follows:
1. In addition to modifying the SDP information by using the IP address and port number after
the NAT translation, the P-CSCF/IBCF supplements and modifies the codec in the SDP.
2. The codecs that the P-CSCF/IBCF delivers to both sides of the BGF are different.
3. In addition to establishing the NAPT-to-PT mapping, the BGF converts between the codecs
supported by the two sides.

Transcoding: Operating Principle
 When a codec is added, the codec is added to the end of the original codec of the calling party and
the original codec of the calling party remains unchanged. This minimizes transcoding.
 After receiving an Answer message (Codecs 4 and 5), the P-CSCF/IBCF performs transcoding
judgment and processing according to codecs negotiated by the Offer and Answer. For details, see
the basic flow.

Transcoding: Basic Flow
The following figure shows the transcoding that the IBCF and I-BGF perform between domains IMS1 and IMS2.

Transcoding: Basic Flow (2)
 The IBCF delivers an Add request to apply for T1-side resources by using the Ix interface,
supplements the codec list (codec 2) in the SDP information according to the capabilities
(codec 1 and codec 2) of the I-BGF, and then forwards the INVITE message.
 R2. The IBCF receives an INVITE response (SDP Answer). According to the result of the
negotiation between the SDP Offer and SDP Answer, the IBCF decides that transcoding
is required. The IBCF sends an Add request that carries the T2-side media information to
apply for T2-side resources.
 R3. The IBCF delivers a Mod request that carries the T1-side media information.
 R4. According to the media information about endpoints T1 and T2, the I-BGF decides
that transcoding is required.
 R5. The IBCF modifies the SDP Answer and forwards the INVITE response.

Chapter 3 Configuration Related to
CSCF H248 Media Control
3.1 MGW Configuration
3.2 PCSCF Configuration

MGW Configuration
1. Configure the MGW.
 Configuration commands:
ADD MGW: ENTITYPE=P-CSCF, MGWID=33, TRNST=SCTP, MGWTYPE=SBC, CODECTYPE=TEXT, SPCATTR=SUPH248V3-1&SUPCODECCFG-
1&SUPMULTISTREAM-1;
 Function: To configure the MGW and its attributes
 Descriptions of the configuration items:
 ENTITYPE: Specifies the type of a network entity, for example, P-CSCF or BCF (IBCF).
 MGWTYPE: Specifies the type of an MGW, for example, SBC, UMG, or MRFP.
 CODECTYPE : Specifies whether the MGW supports the text or binary codec.
 MGWID: Identifies an MGW. It is used for CSCF products. The MGW ID ranges from 0 to 299. The IDs from 0 to 31 are reserved for the MRFP and 32-299 are
reserved for the SBCs, UMG8900s, and MRFPs controlled by the P-CSCF/IBCF.
 SPCATTR: Specifies the attributes supported by the MGW. For the P-CSCF or IBCF, only three options, that is, whether to support the IPDC, whether to support
multi-streams are available, and whether to support H248 V3, can be configured.
1) If the MGW is configured to support the IPDC, the inner or outer domain name is delivered through the ipdc/realm message; if the MGW is configured not to
support the IPDC, the inner or outer domain name is delivered through the interface field. For example, if the SDP direction is inner to outer and the core
network domain name is 99, then the termination ID delivered to the SBC is ip/2/99/$ (ip/2/$, ipdc/realm=99 if the IPDC is supported).
2) If the MGW is configured to support multi-streams, up to two m lines (BC components support up to two m lines each time) can be executed at a time for
operations related to the MGW; if the MGW is configured not to support multi-streams, only one m line can be executed at a time.
3) If H248 v3 support is configured, the MGW type must be SBC.
2. Configure the H248 links between the MGW and the CSCF.
 Configuration command:
ADD H248LNK: MGWID=33, TRNST=SCTP, LNKID=0, BSUMN=81, SLOCIP1="154.4.8.80", SLOCPORT=2955, SRMTIP1="154.8.1.123", SRMTPORT=2955;
 Function : To configure the H248 links between the MGW and the CSCF
 SLOCIP1: Specifies the IP address of the P-CSCF or IBCF.
 SRMTIP1: Specifies the IP address of the MGW.

MGW Configuration (2)
3. Configure the transcoding capability set supported by the MRFP:

ADD MRFPRES: MRFPID=177, ACODEC=G711A-1&G711u-1, VCODEC=H263-1;
 Function: The P-CSCF/IBCF performs transocding judgment and processing based on the codecs in the SDP and the
transcoding capability set supported by the MRFP. (For example, in the case the SDP Offer carries Codec1 and the
MRFP supports Codec1 and Codec2, the P-CSCF/IBCF determines that transcoding can be performed and adds Codec2
to the SDP. In the case the SDP Offer carries Codec3 and the MRFP supports Codec1 and Codec2, the P-CSCF/IBCF
determines that transcoding cannot be performed and therefore does not modify t the SDP).
 Configuration item description:
 MRFPID: MRFP ID, which must be the same as the MGW ID specified in ADD MGW.
 ACODEC: Type of the audio codec that the MRFP can convert. For the P-CSCF and IBCF, only G711A,
G711u, G723_1, G729, AMR, AMR-WB, EVRC, and EVRCB can be configured.
 VCODEC: Type of the video codec that the MRFP can convert. For the P-CSCF and IBCF, only H263, H264,
and MPEG4 can be configured.

1. Configure whether the P-CSCF allows the HOST NAT device.

MOD PCSCF: PID=0, HOSTNATEN=Y;

 Function: To configure whether the P-CSCF allows the HOST NAT device
 HOSTNATEN: Specifies whether the HOST NAT device is configured for the P-CSCF.
2. Configure the attributes of the access network.

MOD PACN: ANID=1, ISHOSTNAT=Y;

 Function: To configure whether the HOST NAT device is configured for the access network
 ISHOSTNAT: Specifies whether the HOST NAT device exists.

PCSCF/IBCF Configurations: Session Release
Because of Exceptions of Media Streams
1. Configure the PCSCF/IBCF to release the session upon receiving the media stream
exceptions reported by the C-BGF/I-BGF
MOD SFP: INSPN=BCPARA4, MODTYPE=P1, BIT=0, BITVAL=0;

 Function: To configure the PCSCF/IBCF to release the session when the C-BGF/I-BGF
reports the exceptions that certain media streams are aged or an session is extreme long.
 Set the least significant bit of software parameter 4 of the BC to 1

P-CSCF Configurations: Transcoding Configuration
1. Configure whether the P-CSCF performs transcoding for users on the access network.
MOD PACN: ANID=1, TCPOINT=AUDIOCODEC-1&AUDIOPTIME-1&VIDEOCODEC-1&VIDEOPARAM-1;

 Function: Configure whether the P-CSCF performs transcoding for the users on the access network and in which scenarios transcoding is
required.
 TCPOINT: Based on the configuration and the SDP contents, the P-CSCF determines whether to instruct the bearer device to perform
transcoding.
1) AUDIOCODEC: Audio codec. The P-CSCF supplements the audio codec supported by the MGW (MRFP) in the current session to
the SDP Offer. After receiving the corresponding SDP Answer, the P-CSCF determines whether transcoding is required according
to the first codec in the media row. The judgment principles are as follows: If the codec already exists in the SDP Offer, no
transcoding is performed. If the codec is the one supplemented by the P-CSCF, transcoding needs to be performed.
2) AUDIOPTIME: Audio packaging time. According to the audio packaging time parameter in the audio media row in the SDP Offer a
nd SDP Answer, the P-CSCF determines whether the packaging time needs to be converted. If the packaging time setting in the S
DP Offer and that in the SDP Answer is different, the packaging time needs to be converted.
3) VIDEOCODEC: Video codec. The P-CSCF supplements the video codec supported by the MGW (MRFP) in the current session to
the SDP Offer. After receiving an SDP Answer, the P-CSCF determines whether transcoding is required according to the first code
c in the media row. The judgment principles are as follows: If the codec already exists in the SDP Offer, no transcoding is perform
ed. If the codec is the one supplemented by the P-CSCF, transcoding needs to be performed.
4) VIDEOPARAM: Video parameter. According to the video parameters, such as the resolution, frame rate, and bit rate, in the video
media row in the SDP Offer and that in the SDP Answer, the P-CSCF determines whether video parameter conversion is required.
If the video parameters in the SDP Offer and those in the SDP Answer are different, the video parameters need to be converted.

IBCF Configurations: Transcoding Configuration
1. Configure whether the IBCF performs transcoding.

MOD BBCP: BCPID=1, TCPOINT=AUDIOCODEC-1&AUDIOPTIME-1&VIDEOCODEC-1&VIDEOPARAM-1;
 Function: Configure whether the IBCF performs transcoding and in which scenarios transcoding is required.
 TCPOINT: Based on the configuration and the SDP contents, the IBCF determines whether to instruct the bearer device to
perform transcoding.
1) AUDIOCODEC: Audio codec. The IBCF supplements the audio codec supported by the MGW (MRFP) in the current session
to the SDP Offer. After receiving the corresponding SDP Answer, the IBCF determines whether transcoding is required
according to the first codec in the media row. The judgment principles are as follows: If the codec already exists in the SDP
Offer, no transcoding is performed. If the codec is the one supplemented by the IBCF, transcoding needs to be performed.
2) AUDIOPTIME: Audio packaging time. According to the audio packaging time parameter in the audio media row in the SDP O
ffer and SDP Answer, the IBCF determines whether the packaging time needs to be converted. If the packaging time setting i
n the SDP Offer and that in the SDP Answer is different, the packaging time needs to be converted.
3) VIDEOCODEC: Video codec. The IBCF supplements the video codec supported by the MGW (MRFP) in the current session
to the SDP Offer. After receiving an SDP Answer, the IBCF determines whether transcoding is required according to the first
codec in the media row. The judgment principles are as follows: If the codec already exists in the SDP Offer, no transcoding i
s performed. If the codec is the one supplemented by the IBCF, transcoding needs to be performed.
4) VIDEOPARAM: Video parameter. According to the video parameters, such as the resolution, frame rate, and bit rate, in the v
ideo media row in the SDP Offer and that in the SDP Answer, the IBCF determines whether video parameter conversion is re
quired. If the video parameters in the SDP Offer and those in the SDP Answer are different, the video parameters need to be
converted.
